Do I need an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney to file back tax returns?

No, filing delinquent tax returns is not a legal matter and shouldn’t require hiring an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.  Consider Hiring Scott Allen E.A. instead. However, you should be aware of some of the negative consequences of filing back tax returns:

  • After three years past the due date, if you have a refund, it is lost and cannot be applied towards any balances due.
  • The IRS has a 10 year statute of limitations in which to collect on assessed taxes.  However, the statute does not start until your returns have been filed and assessed.
  • If you refuse to file back tax returns there can be legal consequences—but even an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney is not going to be able to get the IRS to agree to not filing a back tax return.
  • If you have not filed for a few years the IRS will file a Substitute for Return (SFR) which is prepared in the most negative way possible.  If this has already occurred, it can be corrected by filing a correct return at the Service Center that prepared the SFR.
  • The longer you wait to file a delinquent return the more penalties and interest will be added to the tax due.  If you have a refund, there will be no penalties or interest added.
  • You cannot qualify for any IRS settlement programs until you are in compliance with filing all of your back tax returns.

Scott Allen E.A. can be reached for a free consultation to discuss filing your back tax returns at 480-926-9300.  Scott has filed many SFR protests that have reduced the tax liability as well as the interest and penalties. He will make today a great day for you.

Below is a recent example of Scott Allen E.A. properly representing a taxpayer. Kathleen was several years behind on her taxes and Scott was able to assist in her getting those returns prepared and all caught up. Once she was filing compliant a payment plan negotiation took place. Her $100,000+ IRS debt was settled into one low monthly payment plan of $508 per month. How about that!

If you do not make a monthly payment or if your check does not clear, the IRS will send you a default notice.  If this is your first default and you have the ability to catch up on your missed payments including your current payment, call the IRS as soon as you get this notice and they will likely reinstate your IRS payment plan.  They may require future payments by debiting your checking or savings account to make sure you give them priority over other debts.

IRS audit reconsideration in Arizona: IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

What is audit reconsideration and when should I file for one?   

A taxpayer can file for audit reconsideration in Arizona when you want the IRS to examine your return again.  The reasons you may want the IRS to open your return for a second time include: information that would have reduced your tax liability on the original return is now available, the IRS did not process the return you sent in to replace an IRS SFR return, or there were errors by the IRS in the original assessment of tax.

You should not file for audit reconsideration if you signed an audit report, if you agreed to an Offer in Compromise for the year(s) in question, if you signed an agreement with IRS Appeals or had a determination from Tax Court regarding the assessed liability.

Audit reconsideration requires a written request along with any documentation that was not previously taken into consideration with the original assessment.  Once the IRS is “reconsidering” your return, you must: continue making payments on your installment arrangement.  If the audit reconsideration fails, you still can file an appeal.  We have found that the longer you pursue your efforts, the closer you get to “Santa Claus.”  But you must be a “good boy” and have reasonable proof of your position.

Below is a recent audit reconsideration in Arizona that was handled by Scott Allen EA. It was for a 2012 tax return. As you can see it originally have a balance due of $43,871. Upon submitted proper information provided by the taxpayer he was able to get $20,000 of the IRS debt reduced.  Don’t go about audit reconsideration on your own. For these type of cases representation is usually in your best interest.

Scott Allen EA: The IRS has levied your Bank Account in Chandler AZ

Don’t receive an IRS Levy Chandler AZ notice

Once you have delayed working out a settlement until your Chandler AZ bank account has been levied, you have painted yourself into a corner with fewer options.  That is why you need to get professional help.  The IRS is reluctant to return monies levied and in many cases those funds are going to be kept by the IRS unless you can prove it will cause a hardship or they should not have been taken in the first place.  Once you have a settlement in place, the IRS will not levy any more funds from your bank account.  If the IRS is levying your Social Security it may take 1-2 months before the IRS and the Social Security Administration will agree to release the levy.  Fortunately the IRS is limited to levying 15% of your Social Security payment.

Scott Allen E.A. near Chandler AZ offers a free consultation to determine your best option once your bank account has been levied.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Remember that the funds in your bank account are on hold for 21 days from the date of the levy.  That gives you up to three weeks to determine what if any amount can be refunded.  Call Scott Allen E.A. to give yourself and Scott enough time to make the best settlement possible.

However, be like Troy and negotiate an agreement with the IRS before an IRS levy Chandler AZ happens. The agreement Troy qualified for was a Currently not Collectible status. Click here to learn more about that status. Below is his approval letter from the IRS to see it for yourself.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers to Avoid Criminal Punishment

Scott Allen EA of Mesa Arizona’s Tax Debt Advisors

Let’s start out with what is true and what is false in this area.  What is false is more important for you to remember than what is true.  That’s because most web sites scare you with what is false rather than helping you by reducing your stress level with what is true.

Truth—If you fail to file a tax return you can be punished with one year in jail for each year you did not file.

Falsehood—In 44 years, we have never seen this happen once to one of our clients or anyone else.  All you have to do to avoid criminal prosecution is file your Mesa Arizona back tax returns.  The IRS criminal cases that you hear about on the news are due to Arizona taxpayers refusing to file or filing fraudulent tax returns.

Failing to file a return is like a bad parking ticket.  It is not a hit and run crime where you will go to prison.  It is important that you work with an IRS Resolution Specialist in Arizona like Scott Allen E.A. who will tell you the truth and not try to scare or intimidate you into retaining his services.  Tax Debt Advisors offers a free initial consultation and you can schedule your appointment with Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.  You will only work with Scott.  He does 100% of your IRS resolution work.

Here is an IRS Notice CP21A showing an adjustment made on a back tax return for a client. Scott Allen EA filed an amendment to correct the filing status that was done incorrectly by a previous preparer. Correcting this before negotiating a payment plan was important to do. As you can see it saved the client over $2,200 in back taxes owed.

Do I Need an Arizona Tax Attorney When the IRS Has Levied My Pay Check?

Settle 13 tax years without an Arizona Tax Attorney

No, this is not a legal matter.  The IRS has levied your pay check because you have a tax liability and have not entered into any settlement option.  The first step is to file any unfiled tax returns.  If all of your returns have been filed, the second step is to enter into a settlement with the IRS.  Once you have entered into a settlement with the IRS, the levy on future pay checks will be removed.  The IRS will generally keep the amount levied unless your back tax returns show that you have a refund coming, or you can prove that keeping the levied amount would impose a hardship.

Scott Allen E.A. (who is not an Arizona Tax Attorney) can promptly file back tax returns, enter into a settlement option with the IRS, and get the IRS to remove the levy on future pay checks.  Call Scott Allen E.A. today at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation.  He can start the process immediately and provide the quickest release on your levied pay checks.

View the notice below to see how Scott Allen E.A. successfully negotiated a low $500/month payment plan for his client. He will work just as hard for you as he did for Phelipe.

Removing IRS tax interest: Can it be done?

It is not Necessary To Use A Scottsdale AZ IRS Tax Attorney to Remove Interest

The IRS takes a tough position on removing interest and therefore it is rare that our firm will charge a fee requesting interest abatement.  Interest can be abated if it is due to an error by an employee of the IRS.  It is much harder to seek interest abatement claiming the IRS employee delayed the process of processing the tax assessment unless it is obvious the “ball was dropped” when your case was transferred to another employee at the IRS.

If a return is amended and the balance is lowered, the interest due will also be lowered along with any penalties.  If a return is filed to lower a balance due on an IRS substitute for return the same will be true.  If you want a correct assessment of whether you should seek professional guidance on interest abatement, call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 and schedule a free consultation to determine if your case has merit.

I need IRS HELP: IRS Tax Attorney in Mesa AZ: Yes or No?

No, IRS help is not a legal matter.  Here are some suggestions on what to look for in choosing an IRS representative:

  • You should be entitled to an initial free consultation.  At this meeting the person you meet with must be the one who will represent you—NOT A SALESMAN!
  • You should feel that all of your questions are answered in a manner you understand.  If you do not understand the answers you are getting, you a probably dealing with someone who is not honest.
  • Make sure the person handling your case can start immediately.  Time is of the essence.  Sometimes a delay of a few hours can make a big difference in the work needed to be done and settlement options that are available.
  • Make sure your IRS representative is licensed in all 50 States.
  • Make sure you have the direct dial to your IRS representative and that he or she will be the only one you talk to about your IRS problem.
  • Work only with a firm that presents all of your IRS settlement options; not just the one they want you to accept.
  • Make sure you are quoted a flat fee for the work done.  Not a large upfront fee – but a quote of the the total costs of the process.  That will also require you to respond timely to the needs of your IRS representative.

Scott Allen E.A. (who is not an attorney) will provide his services in accordance to these recommendations.  Scott is available for a free consultation at 480-926-9300.  His firm has been serving clients with tax problems since 1977 and has successfully resolved over 114,000 IRS tax debts.

Before you make the decision to hire an IRS tax attorney in Mesa AZ for your IRS help please take 10 minutes and call me for a second opinion.  I can usually meet with you for a free consultation the same day you call – if necessary.

Thanks for considering me as your IRS problem option.  Make today a great day for you!

See what Scott Allen E.A did you his Client Leo (view IRS letter below). Leo was way behind on filing his taxes and paying his taxes. He runs a small contracting business himself.
